Lineup

2

Mystery Dan

Set: Mystery Dan performed a dark character sketch about getting revenge on Star Wars fans for mocking people with lisps by assaulting them in a bar, cutting off body parts with scissors.

Interview: The panel questioned Mystery Dan extensively about his sexuality (he is gay), his sexual preferences (he's a top), his recent sexual encounter (six weeks ago outside a subway station), and his comedy routine styles which he claims are mostly sketch-based characters.

Bits:
  • Cutting off Princess Leia's buns as revenge for Star Wars lisp jokes.
Moments:
  • Jeremiah broke character as detective due to crude content, then resumed
  • Mystery Dan admitted he looked at his sister's genitals as child which he claimed turned him gay
  • Gunshot sound effect played randomly during interview disrupting momentum
3

Sal Simone

Set: Sal performed a weak set with a forced Orthodox Jewish character, making stereotypical jokes about being cheap, having a goofy voice, and living in LA, but lacking any real comedic structure or punchlines.

Interview: Tony aggressively shut down Sal's interview after establishing he thought this was just a sign-up sheet for free admission and didn't know he was bombing on a podcast. Sal mentioned working in the cannabis business.

Bits:
  • Orthodox Jew stereotype with cheap personality and goofy voice.
Moments:
  • Tony harshly cut off Sal's interview, telling him he's done after bombing
  • No one applauded when Sal left the stage
4

Jessie Johnson

Set: Jessie performed a solid one-minute set about working three jobs despite having no kids, getting out of a toxic five-year relationship with a ska band lead singer, and recently opening for Big Fish.

Interview: Tony and the panel asked Jessie about her move to LA (she's been there four weeks), her birthday (turning 27), her upcoming trip home to Arizona, and her current jobs including remote work as a personal assistant for an e-learning video company.

Bits:
  • Working three jobs without kids is bullshit; toxic relationship with ska band guy.
  • Got revenge on ska band ex by saying 'not interested' in his language.
Moments:
  • Tony noted she came in as a professional after bad sets
5

Regean Tyler

Set: Regean performed a rambling, poorly-structured set about using the penitentiary system as military recruitment, with disjointed examples and no clear punchlines.

Interview: Tony established that Regean had only been doing stand-up for one week, had written it better on paper, had done five open mics that week, was from Minnesota but living in LA for three years, works in freight sales, and went on a bad first date to The Grove.

Bits:
  • Using prison system as military recruitment tool with absurd criminal examples.
Moments:
  • Regean admitted his set was much better in the car driving
  • Regean revealed he met his Tinder date at a gas pump
  • Jeremiah made offensive joke about Regean taking care of autistic person

Nicole Ritchie

Jessica Mears

Set: Jessica performed a strong set about working at Hooters for five years, dealing with disrespect including an old man's age joke, her plumber father who abandoned the family for a world-traveling nuclear power plant job, and the irony of his success coming from leaving.

Interview: Tony and the panel asked Jessica about her breast augmentation (34B to 34DD, under the muscle through armpit), working at Hooters to save money for the surgery, later bartending for the PGA tour where she slept with a caddy, being currently unemployed since March, and her father's love of Hooters.

Bits:
  • Hooters requires strong person to deal with disrespect; old man age joke.
  • Father abandoned family to build nuclear plants; his success was abandonment.
Moments:
  • Brian asked Jessica to remove jacket to show her breasts on stage
  • Jessica delivered substantive answer about objectification and retaining attention through substance
  • Pat Reagan offered Jessica a show at the Ice House Friday
8

Ali Macofsky

Set: Ali delivered a tight 60-second set full of jokes about her new haircut making her less narcissistic but more attractive, being objectified as a mannequin, not knowing art terminology, being slow at work because she's high all the time, and applying for a hotel cleaning job that appeals to her love of unsolved mysteries.

Interview: Tony asked Ali about her life, dating skateboarders, recently matching with a hot guy on Tinder who she skates with, her new shaved hairstyle, and her recent road trip with Tony where she performed at the Ontario Improv (Tony said she killed, she was humble about it).

Bits:
  • Got haircut thinking it would make her less narcissistic but looks hotter.
  • Being objectified as mannequin; only describes art as 'cool.'
  • Applied for hotel cleaning job because she loves unsolved mysteries.
Moments:
  • Ali hit exactly 59.99 seconds, a near-perfect timing record
  • Tony praised her for telling more jokes than everyone else combined
  • Ali deleted Tinder in a rage after matching with skateboarder
